“Like most people when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer it affected me on a physical and emotional level. Obviously I was very concerned and emotionally depressed since I was only 58 years old. I am a medical doctor, so as you can imagine, there were several concerns about the different treatment options available; the 2 biggest ones being: first and foremost the eradication of the cancer and the second was erectile dysfunction. So I thoroughly researched all of my options.

HIFU is a targeted, non-invasive, outpatient therapy that uses ultrasound energy to heat and destroy specific areas of tissue without damage to surrounding areas.It can be used as a first line of therapy or as a salvage therapy when other prostate cancer treatments fail. When compared to other traditional treatments, HIFU has been shown to:

Decreases the risk of impotence, from 80% to 2%

Decrease the risk of incontinence, from 20% to 0.4%

Display a 95.4% decrease in PSA levels

Provide an 80% chance of remaining cancer-free for up to 10 years

Dr. George Suarez is the world-leading expert in HIFU, having performed more than 2,300 procedures with 15 years’ of experience. His pioneering work with HIFU has been covered extensively by the media, as noted in the stories below.
